Difference between Thrift and CQL 3 Columns/Rows
问题 At the Cassandra Summit, it was mentioned that Thrift and CQL 3 have subtle differences in their definitions of columns and rows. The Google hasn't helped me understand this difference. The only information I can find is that the metadata is different, and as such, I shouldn't mix thrift and CQL. What is the subtle difference (I've read a bit about metadata representations...)? in what way does it break the compatibility? Why is the change better? I'm happy to read any docs that will help me,
